Where will this lead?
The restored jospel of Jesus Christ encourages us to think about the future. It teaches great ideas about the future to guide our actions today.
Don’t just watch while the inevitable outcome happens, intervene early.
As we see threats on peoples lives, we have the choice of speaking and acting or remaining silent.
When consequences are serious, we cannot afford to remain silent.
Ask yourself where will this lead? Do this on each choice you make.
Measure thoughtfully what are we loosing if we do one activity, even if it is good in itself.
The long view…
- Benefits of getting an education
- Studying the gospel
- Exercise
- Building relationships with our children
- Building up marriage relationship
Think of eternal life and eternal families… these are the long view.
Physical health is temporary compared to eternal families.
Make a present sacrifice to earn a long term goal.
Sacrifices help build our testimony / faith.
